​How Can Parents Help?

Troops exist because of parents. Parents can be leaders, drivers, treasurers, field trip chaperones, arts and craft specialists, camping gurus, communications coordinators, keepers of the troop scrapbook, career experts, or anything you can imagine. Each one plays a vital role in making the Girl Scouts experience exciting, fun and educational for your daughters.

The untold secret is that Girl Scouts is fun for parents too. Your daughter will be excited when she finds out that you are willing to make time to participate with her. If you become a leader, you will be a hero to a whole gaggle of giggling girls. If you supply the enthusiasm, the Girl Scouts of Eastern Pennsylvania will supply the training to help you succeed in bringing the GS program to the girls.

Any adult who will have direct contact with girls (driving a field trip, cooking for a badge requirement, etc.) or will be handling troop money (manning a cookie sales booth, etc.) must complete GSEP's background check process. You can learn ​more here!
